As a committed member state, Montenegro will continue to advocate for the values of multilateralism, alongside the strategic goals and principles of the Council of Europe. In this context, it is vital to support the Republic of Kosovo’s membership in the Council of Europe (CoE) to enhance regional stability, stated Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and President of the Bosniak Party, Ervin Ibrahimović.

Ibrahimović took part in the 134th session of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe held in Luxembourg, where he discussed intricate geopolitical challenges and the necessity of collaborative efforts to tackle them, highlighting the role and significance of the Council of Europe in addressing global issues, as communicated by the Bosniak Party (BS) to the media.

The Deputy Prime Minister expressed his support for the New Democratic Pact as a framework for upholding shared values and bolstering democracy. He specifically acknowledged the advancements in comprehensive reforms that have allowed Montenegro to progress significantly on its EU path, appreciating the Council of Europe’s active partnership in this process.

“Montenegro will assume the chair of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe during 2026-2027, coinciding with important national milestones—20 years of restored independence, 10 years in NATO, and 20 years in the Council of Europe,” remarked Ibrahimović.

On the sidelines of the session, President Ibrahimović met with Isabelle Bero-Amadi, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation of Monaco, and participated in a trilateral meeting with her and Moldova’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mihail Popsoi.

According to the statement, the discussions centered on the three countries’ coordination in preparing to chair the Committee of Ministers and aligning activities to further enhance cooperation and respond collectively to current challenges.
